We know that Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro are in the works with a supposed launch date on upcoming October. A shocking new development suggests that the 15 series might have two more members with “S” branding attached to it. In this article, we will discuss all that we know of the Xiaomi 15S series in further detail.
Xiaomi 15S Series Rumours Round-up
What’s cooking?
This rumour stems from a cryptic Weibo post from Digital Chat Station, who is one of the most active and reliable leakers in the business. As per them, two companies will be releasing an “S” model. They do not elaborate further on which company are they talking about and end the post saying, “Those who understand will understand.”.
Chinese netizens have been trying to make sense of what and who are they talking about. However, a large majority seem to be convinced that it’s Xiaomi 15S. Meanwhile, some are adding Vivo X200s to the conversation as well. The leaker did mention two companies after all.

What to expect?
As per the Weibo post, one company would be making up for peripheral shortcomings while the other would be replacing the highly-anticipated processor. The wider consensus appears to agree that Xiaomi is the subject of the latter statement. Based on that, we can expect the Xiaomi 15S to have a silicon upgrade.
So which processor are we looking at? Sources have presented with two options — Snapdragon 8+ Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400. With this, the Xiaomi 15S will bring a performance boost to the base models. There are also talks of Xiaomi 15S Pro with the same chipset. Anyway, as of now, it appears that the Xiaomi 15S series will only be a processor upgrade and nothing else.
Xiaomi 15S Series Launch and Availability
While the base models are set to launch in October, the S models will come a little later. Xiaomi has had “S” models before too, which launched in June. Given that, sources are speculating that Xiaomi will be announcing the 15S series in June 2025.
Some netizens are already planning to skip the regular models to grab the “S” models later on. However, there is not enough information available right now to tell anything concretely. In fact, the Xiaomi 15S series might not even come to fruition. We’ll have to wait and see!
